The black crotch grabber that you put on the base. I think he means it looks like a PF statue without it.

No they do not... I upgraded my credit card cause the one on file was expired when they first charged the deposit for the non-exclusive (when they recently announced they would have more non exclusives available). Then when they went to charge the deposit again, they used the same exact expired card instead of my updated card. So when I called to see why they used that card, they told me it was the system's error but they could not give me back my spot or put me on the wait list cause there isn't one anymore for this item at the moment. But I guess she put me on an in-house wait list since their system messed up. That means I will be first (before the signed-up Wait list) if someone drops out on buying or paying for theirs.
I'll wait for futzing tips from maglor or rory.
that seems to be case for every figure including mine
Haven't really had much time to play with this and take photos but here's another pic I took yesterday.
So I thought I'd give some of my thoughts on this figure.
The Bale sculpt looks amazing, so much better in hand. It's not perfect but it's about 95% Bale, much better than any previous mass produced attempt. The cowl looks great, but it's not quite accurate as the Enterbay version. But I prefer the paint job on the HT version and the fact that the eyes are poseable. This gives so much life and pose options to the figure.
The body is very easy to pose and move around. It's not at all as stiff as the EB version. Feels more like a premium quality figure and makes the Enterbay version feel like a cheap toy. I'd be careful handling it though as it is made out of the same easily scratch-able material as the DX12. Gloves are recommended! The same goes for the accessories like the weapons, they scratch easily.
The cape is utter crap. The cape clips would go into the holes but it didn't look right at all so I removed them and forced the cape into the holes. It looks fine for now but I will be looking into custom capes. I'm not sure about Lance's custom cape yet as it isn't folded nicely around the area where you insert the cape into the holes and if you would try it it would look too thick on the shoulders with that kind of material. Perhaps Rory or someone who owns it could tell us if it's a thicker material than the stock cape?
The hands and gauntlets don't go well together, just as with the DX12. Cutting off the edges of the gloves might do the trick but I'm not about to start cutting up an expensive figure like this. I'll let someone else try it first. 
The base isn't that bad as I said eariler, but it limits the poseability. When I first saw these stands I thought you were going to be able to swap out the top layer, which would have been a great idea. I'll be looking into buying another EB stand or modding this one. Possibly trying to remove the top layer and make a custom one. I have a reg QS001 on PO from the UK so I would have a spare stock stand in worst case scenario.
Overall, this is the best TDK figure made to date. No doubt about it. I prefer it over the EB version. It looks so life-like and realistic, lighting and posing plays a big part in this or otherwise it can look really bad. Lighting from underneath is a bad idea, better have the lighting source from above or from the sides.
About the scale issue with the Enterbay figures, I haven't had time to take them out of their display boxes and compare but I did put the HT version next to them and it didn't look way off. But the EB figures are slightly bigger.
So yeah, this figure receives a 9/10 from me! Best purchase so far this year! I really hope HT decides to make a QS Joker and a BB suit version some day. Judging by this figure they'd look awesome.

Thanks for your feedback mate ! This make the wait more harder ...
I don't want they make a joker or BB ! I want they make Bane
Another Batman, another Joker.. Guys ! Too much version out there
You're welcome!
I'd love to see HT's attempt of Bane in QS. I'm personally satisfied with the 1/6 version which looks perfect. But there is no mass produced Joker or BB suit version that looks as good as I'd want them to do. There is always room for improvement. The Enterbay figures are nice and so is the DX11.. but they can do better and the QS line is the perfect opportunity to make the ultimate, accurate figures of those characters.

I pretty much bought this in the hopes that they will make a Bane. This with a 1/4 bane in epic fight stance...yeah can't wait for that on my shelf.
yes ! I'm already happy they add the scarecrow mask for my EB Batman. I need Bane and Gordon
